Simple, actionable tips to make your digital life more sustainable
Small changes, big impact on the planet
Reduce emissions from video consumption
Stream in 720p instead of 4K when possible. 4K uses 6x more data than HD.
Disable auto-play on Netflix, YouTube, and social media to avoid unnecessary streaming.
WiFi is more energy-efficient than cellular networks for streaming.
Download content on WiFi to watch later instead of streaming multiple times.
Optimize your devices for efficiency
Dark themes use less energy on OLED screens and reduce eye strain.
Lower brightness saves significant battery and reduces energy consumption.
Avoid leaving devices plugged in overnight to prevent phantom energy drain.
Background apps consume CPU cycles and network data continuously.
Manage your digital storage wisely
Delete old photos, videos, and files you no longer need from cloud storage.
Use cloud services powered by renewable energy like Google Drive or iCloud.
Clean your inbox regularly. Each email stored uses server energy continuously.
Use efficient formats like HEIF/HEVC to reduce storage space and upload time.
Mindful social media consumption
Use built-in screen time controls to limit endless scrolling sessions.
Disable background refresh for social media apps to reduce data usage.
Think before uploading multiple photos/videos. Each upload has a carbon cost.
Reduce your feed content to decrease data loading and processing.
